PROCESS FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF BENZYL MERCAPTAN

摘要

The preparation of benzyl mercaptan by reaction of benzyl chloride and ammonium hydrosulphide. …In the process according to the invention the reaction is performed under autogenous pressure in a closed reactor in two stages, the first consisting in introducing benzyl chloride into an aqueous solution of ammonium hydrosulphide at a temperature below 80 DEG C, and the second in heating the reaction mixture to a temperature ranging from 80 to 100 DEG C.
